After the impressive display at Fulham following on from some other superb performance I dread the looming 3 game suspension which could come at a pivotal stage in the season! I don't think we can ask him to take the foot off the gas as he is the sort of player who plays with his heart on his sleeve and gets stuck in.... Just needs to ensure there are no silly bookings and fingers crossed it won't get to that stage. I think he will be a big miss at Preston, as they are physical side. Thankfully Goldson is a decent replacement but I thought he lacked match fitness at Wigan away. Hopefully the MK Dons match will help.

Looming 3 game suspension? He still needs to get another 5 yellow cards... If he cuts out the petulance and stupid bookings it is doable.

What date is the next cut off? End of March? How many games is he likely to play between now and then?

I guess I am over worrying but surely this is a concern, but as already suggested may not even happen... Does anyone know the cut off date

There isn't a cut off for 15, it is the end of the season.

5 (English Football League, National League, Steps 2-4) 30 November
10 (English Football League, National League, Steps 2-4) 2nd Sunday in March
15 End of Season

Players who receive 20 or more cautions in a season shall be required to attend a Regulatory Commission.

No way he will make half a season without picking up 5 bookings!
